There is often more than one answer to a question in life. The museum is an open environment, where different perspectives and mindsets coincide, and everyone can freely engage in different ideas in their own ways. The museum is more than a place to collect and exhibit works of art. Our sparks of creativity are what enliven the museum.

This workshop follows the theme of multi-perspective thinking. It consists of the Creative Gallery Interpretation Experience and Printmaking. Participating teachers will join Artist, M+ Learning Curators and Educators to think out of the box and reach beyond conventional boundaries.

As a lead-in to the activities, participants will experience a human library experience, where three M+ Educators from different professions and backgrounds will take turns in different galleries to share their stories of encountering M+ Collection, guiding participants to discover the value and significance of visual culture objects from the unique perspective of their life experiences.

Afterwards, M+ Learning Curator and Artist be in dialogue, sharing how artists' personality traits and creative thinking can be applied to different situations in daily life. The Artist will also invite participants to use simple drawing tools to create a printmaking artwork, thereby reflecting on more questions that without standard answers, and continuing the exploration experience in the galleries.

The participants’ willingness to learn helps enrich the museum’s collections and curatorial expertise. Their exchange with M+ Educators and artists brings forth deeper questions—what can we learn at the museum apart from what it intends to teach us? We believe that if we are willing to ask questions and respond without drawing on existing knowledge both inside and outside the museum, it will foster multi-perspective thinking in our learning community.

Printmaking is led by local artist and illustrator Kinchoi Lam and printmaking artist Wahyan Au.

Kinchoi Lam obtained a masters degree in children’s book illustration at Anglia Ruskin University in England. His work brings everyone with him to travel around the world and explore different cultures and stories in life. With his first picture book, Little Big Tram, he won the First Prize in the Creative Writing in Chinese Award in 2016 and the Hong Kong Publishing Biennial Award in 2019. Lam’s recent picture book publications include Journey to Mars (2021), ​The Unexpected Journey of Little Star (2022) and Nomads: Life on the Move (2022).

Wahyan Au graduated from the Department of Fine Arts at the Chinese University of Hong Kong and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp in Belgium. She has taught at local secondary schools and worked as an art educator for over a decade. She is also the co-founder of the local printmaking studio Printhow. Her works include comics, Me1 World (2014–2022), printmaking story book, Dreams of a Toad (2019) and comics, Praying Mantis Combat (2021). Her works often carry prophetic qualities, blurring the boundaries between fiction and reality, and employing a narrative structure rich in surreal imagery to explore the inner landscape, which has been published in local cultural magazines such as Sunday Ming Pao, Ming Pao Weekly, Fleurs des Lettres, and City Magazine, and have been exhibited in Spain, Belgium, and Norway.

This thematic tour is recommended for all teachers, especially those who are interested in meditation activities.

Calm your mind and discover yourself through ‘slow looking’ and appreciating a selected work.

The tour is based on slow looking to provide an opportunity to appreciate and look deeply at a work of art. M+ Educators will guide you to slow down and allow awareness to come to the present. You will spend a prolonged period of time with one work, discovering and noticing subtle details. A different work will be explored during each tour, giving you a unique experience during every visit.

New insights may emerge. You may find your own thoughts and feelings and connect with lived experiences and memories. Appreciating art is a skill that can be learned and cultivated. M+ Educators will invite you to share your perspectives and listen to others’ insights in a dialogue. Through this exchange, you will discover diverse ways to appreciate art while deepening self-understanding and cultivating empathy.
